Description

When FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover reported to the Nixon White House in 1972 about the Bureau's surveillance of John Lennon, he began by explaining that Lennon was a "former member of the Beatles singing group". When a copy of this letter arrived in response to Jon Wiener's 1981 Freedom of Information request, the entire text was withheld - along with almost 200 other pages - on the grounds that releasing it would endanger national security. The book tells the story of the author's remarkable 14-year court battle to win release of the Lennon files under the Freedom of Information Act in a case that went all the way to the Supreme Court.
